Submission + - IT Staff got infected with COVID-19 while working unvaccinated and w/o masks. (baynews9.com) 1

luis_a_espinal writes: In another case of "Floriduh" being "Floriduh", a government building in Manatee County had to shut down due to an outbreak. TL;DR; it could be the Delta Variant, and this incident saw a 40% fatality rate. The county doesn't require the use of masks, even among the unvaccinated, allowing unvaccinated people to work indoors and in proximity without any form of protection. From the story:

In all, five employees of the IT department contracted the virus. Of that group, four were hospitalized and two died last week. “That’s a 40% case fatality rate,” said Dr. Scott Hopes, the county administrator. “That’s a high fatality rate.”
